In a recent video message, Governor Mike Dunleavy highlighted key priorities for Alaska's 2027 fiscal year budget .

At the top of the list is a full Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) of $3,650 for all eligible Alaskans. The governor also emphasized funding for public schools and public safety as major priorities.

Governor Dunleavy repeatedly referenced oil prices, noting how fluctuations directly affect state revenue:

"For every dollar change in the price of oil per barrel, revenue increases or decreases by 30 to 35 million dollars. That's for every dollar. Unfortunately, that's the reality we're working with."

He also announced plans to introduce a new fiscal plan for Alaska in January, aiming to address funding challenges and balance priorities for the coming year.
